where he sat all day long at a bench and screwed the little caps onto the tops of the
tubes of toothpaste after the tube had been filled.
2. He is more than that! He is a magician with chocolate! He can make anything-anything
he wants!.
3. Great flabby folds of fat bulged out from every part of his body, and his face is like
monstrous ball of dough with two small greedy curranty eyes peering out upon the
world.
4. “Every time I went home she would scream at me, ‘where is my Golden ticket! I want
my Golden ticket!’ And she would lie for hours on the floor, kicking and yelling in the
most disturbing way.”
5. Because I liked sticking the gooey piece that I’d just finished with onto one of the
elevator buttons. Then the next person who came along and pressed the button got my
old gum on the end of his or her finger.

small neat pointed black beard-a goatee. And his eyes- his eyes were most marvelously
bright.

their days climbing through the treetops looking for other things…… .

a torpedo.

they taste terrific! And they change color once a week! And they never get any smaller!

huge beard started shooting out of his chin, and the beard grew so fast that soon it was
trailing all over the floor in a thick hairy carpet. It was growing faster than we could
cut it! In the end we had to use a lawn mower to keep it in check!

great big mop of curly hair, had turned a brilliant, purplish-blue, the color of blueberry
juice!

II. Here are some quotes in the story. Decide who said or wrote each one.
1. As soon as my little girl told me that she simply had to have one of those Golden
tickets, I went out into the town and started buying all the Wonka candy bars I can lay
my hands on. Thousands of them I have bought.
2. He eats so many candy bars a day that it was almost impossible for him not to find one.
Eating is his hobby, you know. That’s all he is interested in. But still, that’s better than
being a hooligan and shooting off zip guns and things like that in his spare time, isn’t
it?
3. You mustn’t be too disappointed, my darling, if you don’t find what you are looking
for underneath that wrapper. You can’t really expect to be as lucky as all that.
4. “I am a gum chewer, normally,” she shouted, “but when I heard about these ticket
things of Mr. Wonka’s I laid off the gum and switched to candy bars in the hope of
striking lucky. Now, of course, I am right back on gum.”
5. “Quiet!” He shouted, when someone tried to ask him a question. “Didn’t I tell you not
to interrupt! This show’s an absolute whiz-banger! It’s terrific! I watch it every day,
even the crummy ones, where there’s no shooting. I like the gangsters best.
6. if you and your people will come back to my country and live in my factory, you can
have cacao beans for every meal! You can gorge yourselves silly on them! I’ll even
pay your wages in cacao beans if you wish.
7. I’m almost certain you’ll fine him in there. But you’d better look sharp! You’ll have to
hurry! If you leave him in the chocolate-mixing barrel too long, he’s liable to get

fudge would become quite uneatable!”
